ORIGIN

This 1991 Honda Beat is a two-seat roadster built under Japan’s Kei-class automobile tax requirements and imported to the US in May 2018. The car is equipped with a mid-mounted 656cc triple driving the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. Modifications include alloy wheels, recovered leather seats, and an aftermarket exhaust. This Beat was recently acquired by the selling dealer and shows approximately 55k kilometers (~34k miles). A fluid change has been performed and it is offered with a clean Washington State title.

The Pininfarina-designed bodywork is finished in Festival Red, and the paintwork was recently detailed by the selling dealership. The black fabric convertible top is shown in both raised and lowered positions in the gallery.

The factory zebra-print seats have been recovered with black leather and red piping, while other custom touches include black floor mats along with a 3-spoke Nardi steering wheel, shift knob, and seat belts trimmed in matching red. In addition to the glovebox, an additional storage niche is provided at the rear bulkhead between the seats, and another compartment is located behind the driver’s seat.

Factory appointments include a triple gauge layout with center-mounted tachometer, a cassette radio with LCD display, power windows, and air conditioning. Approximately 55k kilometers (~34k miles) are shown on the mechanical odometer.

A small trunk is provided under the deck lid and shares space with the battery, while the spare wheel is kept in a dedicated space under the hood.

The 656cc 3-cylinder is mounted transversely behind the seats and was rated at 63 horsepower with 44 lb-ft of torque when new. Engine management is provided by a Multi Throttle Responsive Engine Control (MTREC) drive-by-wire system, and a 5-speed manual was the only transmission available. Per the seller, an engine oil/filter and transmission fluid change were completed upon the car’s importation.
